《歐陽史》約其文，稱「謹以步日、步月、步星、步發斂為四篇」，是也。）〉 The Ouyang History condenses the text to read, "respectfully taking pacing the sun, moon, stars, and emergence and retraction as four chapters"—which is correct.)〉

據《歐陽史》云：「舊史亡其步發斂一篇，而在者三篇，簡略不完。」 The Ouyang History states: "The old history lost the chapter on pacing emergence and retraction; the three that survive are brief and incomplete."

〈（案：《歐陽史》小分作八十九，此雲九十六，非也。 (Note: The Ouyang History gives the minor fraction as 89, but this text has 96, which is wrong.
